my observation on diet contribution to the severity of the lips:

I wrote on another msesseges but this will be more complete.


NO:

gluten

grains

starches (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch#Food)

dairy

eggs

nightshades




BIG HELEPERS:

beef liver
sardines
gelatin(but maybe not as much as the first two ones)





If you read this forum here you can see also how it ralated to subjects that been talked here like sibo,problems in the gut (the starches inability maybe to break down by the gut like described in the gaps diet) gluten,celiac, vitamin A ointment that someone here said the only one that did some help,inflammation(omega 3 sardines),hyperkeratosis(vitamin A),clean mouth alot(sibo, bugs feeding on starches maybe).




what i think dont worsen my lips:

beef meat

beef liver

sardines(without the olive oil if its canned, i only find canned with olive so i wash the fish in water to remove the oil and then add some form of fat so the omega 3 will aborb)

gelatin

beef fat melted on the Pan

coconut oil

cucumber without the peel

onion

lettuce

watermelon

melon

citrus

water


might be ok but not perfect:
apples and bananas contain starch from what i read but the amount depeneds on it ripeness. personaly i do eat them at the moment. i just found this info while writing this post, maybe i will remove them too.
